Which CMS would you advise for dealing with creating, reading and updating data?

I am starting a large web project, which is essentially an online resource开发者_如何转开发, it is to be regularly updated with text and image data.

The site has many front-end pages each with it's own set of data objects some examples:

• Cars:

  • Car Name (text)
  • Car Booklet (link to PDF)
  • Car Type (dropdown list)

• Houses:

  • House Address Line 1 (text)
  • House Address Line 2 (text)
  • City (text)
  • Notes (block of text)

and so on like this over say 20 - 30 different data objects.

I am looking for a CMS or framework which will help me in quickly creating the backend views, such that I do not have to constantly re-create forms over and over again.

I have been pointed in the direction of CodeExtinguisher for codeigniter, but it seems this is no longer supported/maintained.

Is there a good solution for this sort of thing?

If it is a CMS you are looking for and you are looking in codeigniter's direction

• ExpressionEngine (if you want to pay for a polished commercial product)
• PyroCMS (in my opinion the most well maintained and mature opensource and free CMS for codeigniter)

BUT, From what you are describing you are building a catalogue of sorts I would suggest building it out yourself on Codeigniter.

It might be more work in the beginning of your project, but for such a specific use, the simplicity by which you can custom build this thing, will probably trump the beginning development time, by allowing you to have a much more extendable, maintainable, and fine tuned product in the end.

I suggest you Wordpress. There are many plugins to to add features.
